A woman's dead body found in her apartment after 35years.

A woman in Croatia lied dead in her apartment for the 35years before being found by people/neighbors. This for me is a serious scenario to our world today. This shows the lack of bond of people now-a-days. We forget relationships with our brothers and sisters. It's sad that a person could expire and yet no one could seem to notice they were gone. Truly, technology, fast-paced lives, more money and destractions certainly takes its toll for humanity.

Translations

Words are oftentimes mis-used or even mistranslated when you over-translate them. It even loses it's meaning and may come out funny. One classic example would be TOOTHPASTE. I'm particularly interested in this word (or noun) because it doesn't have a translation in Filipino or in our dialect. Well, for those who know what the words are then please correct me :) I came across this topic in a skype group the other day, we were chatting our hearts out with people from around the world (well most are Filipinos but in different countries) then one person blurted " so ano ang tagalog sa toothpaste? " Everyone kept silent then someone suddenly blurted " joke ba yan? " then most chorused " COLGATE! "... much to my demise, I realized, I didn't know what the tagalog word is for Toothpaste, yet alone know the bisaya term for it. So, I researched online but nothing. Then started texting my friends (Globe lang coz free txt ako sa globe hehhehe) then pe...

An EMU

The Emu is a large, flightless bird from Australia. It is the second-biggest bird in Australia and the third-biggest bird in the world (only the ostrich and cassowary are bigger). The emu is also very fast; it can run up to 30 mph (50 kph). Emus also swim very well. This huge bird lives in flocks (groups) in grasslands , savannas (grasslands with some trees), and the Australian bush. The emu's life span is 10-20 years. The genus and species of the emu are Dromaius novaehollandiae . Anatomy : Emus grow to be about 6 feet (185 cm) tall and weigh about 110 pounds (50 kg). This is bigger than many adult humans. Reproduction : The emu's nest is a shallow hole by a bush; it is lined with leaves, grass, and bark. The female lays from 4 to 20 greenish-brown eggs in a clutch (a group of eggs laid at one time). Chicks (baby emus) hatch after an incubation period of about 8 weeks. The male incubates (keeps warm) the eggs and cares for the chicks for about 1 1/2 years. ...

Joke Text Messages --- A Reflection

Sa sermon, bag-ong Kano nga pari gitabangan sa Pinoy Interpreter: Pari: The Lord was crucified between two robblers. Roy: Si Hesus gilansang tunga sa duha ka goma. Pari: If we do not repent. Roy: Kung dili ta mamintal ug usab. Pari: The wrath of God will come upon you. Roy: Ang mga ilaga sa Dios moanha kaninyo . (Nangatawa ang mga nanimba) Pari: Well.. well... Roy: Atabay, Atabay.. . Those are one of the many jokes I often receive on day-to-day basis and it truly makes me smile and wonder: How do makers of these jokes ever conceive such simple yet effective ones? Well, maybe it's just me, maybe mababaw lang talaga ang kaligayahan ko .. or simply maybe my tickle bones are just too sensitive. But it's funny.. most especially the joke which follows: During the Last Supper, Jesus broke bread and shared to the twelve. So did they share with the wine... then Jesus said, " Naa diri kaninyo karon ang tao nga mag- betray kanako" ... Then Jesus looked sternly to Judas.. Judas...

Earth Hour Experience

Our family joined the EARTH HOUR this year and it was great, not only did we somehow 'contribute' to a global campaign which centers with 'sensitivity' to the earth's changes, it is also a good practice when shared with one's family. We aren't actually the hardcore environmentalists-type of people, but we just realized how some peace and quite with no technology is important when we experienced a 30-minute blackout last night due to heavy rains. I didn't know of this EARTH HOUR, until my mom read about it in the news this morning. The 60-minute exercise just started with my dad turning our main line off , it has been a rainy day since this afternoon so the cool air just helped us get through the hour without cooling. We just finished our dinner, so we just sat in our dining area and started sharing opinions and past stories. All I can say is, indeed it's a nice gesture and I hope we'll remember to do this every year. :) Not only does it keep our ...
